That last part is exactly it and I while I know the intro sentence nails it I don’t think compute resonates with people (everyone uses compute). If you are 24/7 running work at scale it absolutely makes sense past the initial first cou

I am not sure if you are trying to refute my lived experience or what exactly the point is. Heroku was wildly popular with startups at the time, not just those with lavish budgets. I was already touching RDS at this point and even before RD

Maybe you find it fun. I don’t, I prefer building software not running and setting up servers. It’s also nontrivial once you go past some level of complexity and volume. I have made my career at building software and part of that requires u

I also thinks it’s risk model too. Every time I see these kind of posts I think it misses the point there is a balance not only on cost like you describe but risk as well. You are paying to offload some of the risk from yourself.

No it was not. 15 years ago Heroku was the rage. Even the places that had bare metal usually had someone running something similar to devops and at least core infrar was not being touched. I am sure places existed but 15 years while far awa

What managed service? Curious, I don’t use the full suite of aws services but wondering what would take 45mins, maybe it was a large cluster of some sort that needed rolling changes?

It’s all anecdotal but in my experiences it’s usually opposite. Bored senior engineer wants to use something new and picks a AWS bespoke service for a new project. I am sure it happens a multitude of ways but I have never seen the case you

What are we arguing about here? My point was $3bn is minority to the total investment but it does signal some intent. It’s also no chump change. Sorry no advice for you but relax and step back!

I definitely modulated my tone to match yours and some of your killed comments. Sorry you don’t like what you see. Happy to have a discussion but not be told I am someone from Reddit. Low effort and low class. You are consistently being rud

Go take a breath and stop digging a hole. Nobody is being rude to you but you are highly inflammatory and honestly a real lowering of quality. Take a bit of your medicine and step away. I am sorry you feel the need to be so rude back to eve

I think the words are going over your head sorry. I will try one more time but realize now it might be too much especially see some of your dead comments here. I am not claiming a transition is happening in this round, so asking for evidenc

I had already tried. Feels like lots of hype.

There were pretty good responses so far and the only people coming below the bar are folks like yourself. Time for some self reflection. Instead of complaining about comments on HN perhaps you should review your own behavior.

Notice I left a list of potential reasons. Not that ownership has changed. Just pointing out for folks like yourself that Google has made commentary about this exploring the idea of partnering with companies that operate the physical fleet.

If they truly wanted the capex, this would not be a mixed round A fully internal recap would have been simpler. The presence of outside capital, even minority, is consistent with a gradual transition toward shared ownership, asset light str

Yes and what matters the most is what Waymo has been signaling for years. They don’t want the capex (owning and running the physical cars). I don’t know the intent of this raise but you have to realize companies may have a good asset but th

You are just wrong on many levels and keep repeating the same mistruths.

Back up a bit. AdNauseam and similar tools are not illegal. The only real avenues would be violation of ToS, fraud, computer abuse or similar. For an individual running this on their home PC for their own use it would be a real challenge fo

Wrong. There is no law saying you cannot click every link on a website within your browser. It would not only be impossible to prove but also entirely wrong interpretation of existing laws. Now if you had an AdWords account and ran a botnet

Again, I think it’s a muddy example. I have yet to see compelling data that on average data center are meaningfully raising rates and most of the rate increases are more due to the aging infrastructure in America that was neglected for too

These feels like langchain all over again. I still don’t know what problem langchain solved. I remember building tools interfacing with LLM when they first started releasing and people would ask, are you using langchain and be shocked that

You make this sound like a conspiracy. This is normal practice in economic development, check off boxes until announcing to the public. The public rarely has much power in voicing their opinion but data centers are the current evil entity.

Typically constituents don’t have any ability to veto. I imagine there are some cases in CA, thinking of that amusing article about an ice cream shop getting blocked by another ice cream shop. It’s usually an indirect vote with your voice.

What is always left unclear in these anti data center articles is how much the public is left in the dark? It’s not out of the normal for large developments to be kept under NDA until hitting a threshold of certainty, usually that does not

> very flawed non-deterministic tool that requires a lot of effort to get useful code out of it We are all different but I think most of us with open minds are the flaw in your statement.

by infecto 9mo ago
Yeah it’s wild to me to. Especially as I think rising rates are getting misaligned with data centers. I am sure the continued demand has added to some of the costs but people are forgetting most of the US grid is ancient and largely neglect

I wish I had better hard numbers on it but from my experience, it’s not unusual for large buildouts, say for example a manufacturing plant to happen with NDAs until you get at least initial sign offs. Land, county, electric grid, water etc.

They bring in temporary construction jobs but once running they provide no meaningful jobs.

Could this not be simply summarized as ZIRP fueled a bubble in tech long before AI? Mass layoffs have been cycling on and off since ZIRP stopped. I doubt we will see that change anytime soon.

Good for you. Others like myself find the tools incredibly useful. I am able to knock out code at a higher cadence and it’s meeting a standard of quality our team finds acceptable.
